There are approximately 150 deliveries per   year at WGH. Prenatal care is carried out in out-patient clinics and nursing stations by both physicians and nurse practitioners. Obstetrical consultation is available from both visiting obstetricians from Kingston General Hospital and by telephone from Kingston and Timmins. Additionally, approximately 30–40 patients per year from the region are transferred to Timmins or Kingston for their peripartum care as they present too high a risk to be cared for in Moose Factory. Occasionally a physician must accompany a medivac to a nursing station to deliver a baby at these remote locations and return with the patients to WGH.
